A Joke I Thought that I Wanted to Share

The Basic Guide to Killing Monsters in Silent Hill

READY
10 DODGE
20 BASH "SHAMBLING HORROR"
30 GOTO 10
RUN

I know, that was absurdly geeky. A prize goes to someone besides Paul who can guess exactly why (Paul already automatically wins at these things).

I find running from the bastards just perpetuates the problem...because not only are they two inches behind you despite being able to run quite a bit faster then they can shamble, you'll also inevitably run into two more.

I have found that as you beat the crud out of one the others will just chill there and wait until your done. So polite.

Hence the "GOTO 10" line. :)

Sarah indentified the joke correctly. I "wrote" the instructions in someone resembling unstructured BASIC programming language. It actually reads to dodge the monster, bash it, then repeat.

When I was playing Silent Hill Homecoming at a friends house, it kind of became a pattern. A vagina faced monster would jump out, the girls I was with would scream and hide under a blanket (cause Silent Hill is scary dontcha-know-it), I'd casually jump to the side, tap it with a light attack, and then swing for the fences with the pipe. If it was still alive, I'd do it again. Then I would make fun of them.
